Tokyo Vegan Matcha Tea Ceremony

We were warmly welcomed by Keiko and seated in a room looking out onto a beautiful garden. She led us through the process of making sweets with red bean paste centers. We silently watched her perform the tea ceremony and enjoyed the matcha tea she made. We then had the opportunity to try tea making ourselves. We appreciated Keiko’s kindness and the history of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

We had a lovely time. Our host was very knowledgeable on the history of the traditional tea ceremony, she was patient and kind while teaching us how to make traditional Japanese tea sweets, and even let us try our hand at making and serving matcha and the importance of how to serve. It was an unforgettable experience.
